Well, here it is (finally!) - the first Patreon Q&A, for December 2016, in which I answer 4 questions submitted by you my patrons!
I suspected going in that this was going to be a tricky endeavor. It's my first go at shooting and editing video, so it was also my first time using iMovie. I started getting the hang of the program about halfway through, though, and whil not always the most intuitive of apps, it is relatively easy to use. Ther's one idiosyncrasy I have to learn how to work around, however, and that's the tendency of the program to add an automatic zoom to every JPEG file I slipped into the timeline. (That's why, when you watch the video, you'll notice a slow zoom-in on all the pics and graphics; I haven't yet found out how to make iMovie stop it.) (You'll also notice, despite my efforts to equalize things, that the parts in which it's just me talking are consdierably softer than the music.)
Getting the video uploaded to Youtube was also a hassle, of aborted sign-ins and lost passwords; but finally the whole process worked, with the result you see above!
I've also started taking questions for the January 2017 Q&A, so you can submit your questions as either a reply to this post or the soon-to-come "call for questions" post.
(Note: if you have any questions specifically about this video, ask them here and I'll answer them here, no need to wait until January.)
